<p>Team OutSmart will take two smart cars 12000 kms from London to Mongolia in the 2011 Mongol Rally. Driving through extremely rough terrain, the freezing temperatures of Sweden and Finland and the scorching desert of Kazakhstan, across many unsealed roads in cars not designed to take that kind of punishment. An exciting trip in the name of charity, taking with us only the spirit adventure and whatever we can fit into our Smart Cars.</p><div class="module-title-surround"><h4 class="title" style="visibility: visible">OutSmart Advantage</h4></div><div class="rt-module-surround"><div class="rt-module-inner"><div class="module-content"><ul><li>Extremely Economical</li><li>Small target in case we find ourselves in a war zone</li><li>Car can be picked up and moved by a few strong guys</li><li>Parking (although unlikely to be an issue through most of Russia, Kazakhstan or Mongolia)</li><li>Slow top speed - if we fall out it won't hurt as much</li><li>If a rebel cuts off our legs we can still reach the pedals</li></ul></div></div></div>
